Federal Letter to one of the U.S Senators from New York

Dear Senator,

My name is Herbert, and I am a resident of New York City. I am currently an undergraduate student at the City University of New York and one of the things that I am so passionate about is the environment.

The reason why I am writing to you is to ask for your assistance in curbing environmental pollution in New York. The current state of the environment is still not at its best and with your help, I believe we can make New York a better place to live in.

Pollution in New York City ranges from air pollution, runoff, sewer overflows and land pollution from plastic bottles and garbage. Despite the administration’s applaudable efforts in developing creative solutions to some of these challenges, the broader issues remain. The city’s sewer system gets overwhelmed with little stormwater. Chipping in to assist in planting more trees will help evade this problem. The city’s residents are prone to using bottled water for drinking. We can come up with a better alternative since plastic bottles are one of the most significant pollutants to the environment. Air pollution, mainly as a result of smog in the atmosphere, has led to detrimental health effects on people living in the city (Morrow 1). Curbing this will go a long way to ensure that the area residents have the privilege of a better and healthier life.

As your constituent, I do appreciate all your efforts in making sure New York is an excellent place to live, and I am looking forward to getting support from your office concerning this matter.

Thank you for listening to my concern.

Respectfully,

Herbert.
